Thanks for reading.
I’m glad to see an excellent review of this game. The gameplay looks to be a lot more engaging than I would have expected. It’s also definitely a lot more fun than I expected.
There are a lot of games that come out in late July, but I can honestly say that all of them are far more fun to play, or at least the ones I see as fun to play. I would put Deathloop at the top of that list. It’s a lot of fun, and a lot of fun for me. I think Deathloop is the most approachable game in the genre, and is definitely the most approachable game I’ve played.
In late May, I got my first chance to play Deathloop, and I must say it was a great way to introduce myself to the genre. For those of you who may not know, Deathloop is a stealth simulator where you play as a party member trying to outwit a bunch of crazy characters. It’s a great way to learn about stealth systems and take your skill level up to full-on badass, and its a fun experience for both people.
The game is split into two parts, and each part focuses on a different type of stealth. You start off with only a knife, and are paired with a character of your choice. You are then given the option of either being a sniper, or sneaking on foot. The game is not as linear as I was expecting and is more of a back and forth style of game, so you have a lot of branching paths to your goal.
The game is a bit more linear than you’d think, though. The same goes for the stealth system and actions. You have to think very carefully about how to get the aim, and be careful of your choices when it’s coming down on you. The stealth system is a useful tool, and I like that, but it’s not a great deal. It’s a pretty big deal, and there’s a lot of room for improvement.
I find myself more interested in the story and background of the game than the mechanics which are an integral part of the game. The game is a bit linear, but the background and story are very rich. It’s a shame that the story is still in the beginning stages and not a completely fleshed out plot. They have yet to really let me in on the secrets of the island.
